If your garden floods after a downpour or water sits against the patio, drainage is usually the missing link. Across SW6—especially around Parsons Green and Fulham Broadway—small level changes can trap water against paving and planting beds. We install tailored solutions such as French drains, channel drains and soakaways to keep surfaces usable year-round. Expect clean lines, minimal disruption and a finish that suits your garden style.
Fulham homes range from Victorian terraces with narrow side returns to mansion flats and modern riverside apartments with podium gardens. Each brings different challenges: limited access, shared boundaries, and existing paving that needs careful lifting and reinstatement. We plan drainage routes that respect neighbouring properties and protect foundations. Where required, we integrate land drains and catch pits without spoiling the look of premium hard landscaping.
We start with a site assessment, levels check and, where needed, CCTV surveys to locate blockages or collapsed runs. Then we design the right fall and capacity, using grading, channel drains or pump systems when gravity drainage isn’t possible. Work is scheduled to suit access and parking restrictions, and we keep the site tidy throughout. Every installation is tested before handover, with clear maintenance advice and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
In the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, many gardens sit on compacted ground with limited natural soakage, and riverside plots can feel the effects of high groundwater after prolonged rain. Access is often via narrow passages, so we bring compact kit and plan spoil removal carefully. We also factor in street parking and delivery windows near busy routes by Hammersmith and Putney. The result is a drainage layout that works with your property’s constraints, not against them.

Costs vary with access, depth, and how much paving needs lifting. As a guide, small fixes such as a short channel drain or local regrading often start around £650–£1,500. A French drain run with a catch pit is commonly £1,800–£4,500. Larger solutions—soakaways, multiple land drains, or pump systems—can be £4,500–£12,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most Fulham drainage jobs take 1–3 days for straightforward installations, such as a channel drain plus minor grading. A full French drain network with soakaway and reinstatement typically takes 3–7 days. Timescales depend on access through terraces, the amount of excavation, whether we’re working around existing patios, and if a CCTV survey reveals additional repairs. We confirm a programme before starting and keep disruption controlled.
In many cases, garden drainage works are permitted development because they’re below ground and don’t alter the building’s structure. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, dealing with listed buildings, altering boundary walls, or connecting to public sewers. We design systems to manage water on-site where possible and advise on any permissions or consents. If approvals are needed, we’ll help you gather the right information.
Yes. Our garden drainage installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and the correct installation of specified components, such as drains, pipework, catch pits and connections. The warranty is valid when the system is used as intended and maintained (for example, keeping grates clear and emptying silt traps when advised). We also test flow and falls on completion and provide simple maintenance guidance to protect performance long-term.
We tailor the design to your garden layout and finish. Options include French drains with clean gravel margins, land drains beneath lawns, channel drains with discreet metal or polymer grates, and soakaways using modular crates or traditional rubble where suitable. Catch pits and silt traps help prevent blockages, and pump systems can move water where levels are flat. We’ll recommend materials that match your paving, budget and maintenance preferences.
